After Singapore`s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong invoked Jawaharlal Nehru during a speech on democracy, the Congress on Thursday said while the country`s first premier continues to inspire world leaders even today, PM Narendra Modi denigrates him inside and outside of Parliament.

"Pandit Nehru`s magnanimity continues to inspire world leaders even today. Pity the ones here at home who fail to have the vision to understand the exceptional leader he was," the Congress said on its Twitter handle.
